HEAT OF THE SUN. The Theory That lt ls the Result of Contraction. Many theories regarding the source of the sun's heat have been formulated hy scientists at different times. One was that as thc sun was the largest heavenly body in the solar system it attracted smaller bodies to it in great numbers and that thc force of these on impact caused enough heat to make the sun glow. When it was figured out how much would have to drop on it every day the amount was so enormous that the theory was laughed out of existence.

There i3 no doubt, though, that thousands of smaller bodies are constantly falling into the sun and producing heat. Another was that tho sun consist? ed of a huge mass of burning gas. Now, the character of a great many of the substances found in the sun is known, and it is also known that all of them are in a gaseous state on account of thc intense heat, but when it came to figuring out all the greatest possible quantities of sub? stances necessary to combine and produce heat it was found that the sun would bc entirely consumed in less time than wc already know it to have boen in existence. How, tlftn, does thc sun maintain its heat? The theory now held by ec it what is lilied the con? traction theory. That is that tho sun is slowly cooling and therefore contracting and that tho enormous pressure produced on thc inner mass by thi.s contraction causes it to be? come white hot and give out heat and light.

There is no serious pal? pable objection to this theory. On thc other hand, it fits in with all tho observed phenomena of the sun. Therefore it must stand until fully disproved or a more likely theory is offered. Likewise this theory is in accord with common sense. We all know that pressure produces heat, and wc know that a hot body in space radiates its heat and tends to contract, and wc know that con? traction produces pressure, so there you are.

Not many people have any idea as to the enormous amount of heat that the sun sends of! into space. Our earth gets only a very small part of it. Thc head of a pin placed twenty feet away from an electric light gets in proportion to the light on the surrounding walls of a room about' what the earth gets of the sun's light and heat radiated into 6pace. Why does not the earth lose its heat as fast as it gets it, as the moon does? Because the earth ha3 an atmosphere and the moon hasn't. This atmosphere allows light waves to go through it to the earth, but when the earth changes them to heat waves the atmosphere will not let them out, except very slowly.

Thus our heat is kept through the night. All are familiar with this prop? erty from the common hothouse. Tho glass allows the light waves to come in and be changed to heat waves, but it will not let the heat waves go out. Thus the inside of such a place is much warmer than thc outside Hodges in New York Tribune. Her Name Not Polly Tlcka.

During a political campaign a candidate for the legislature was driving through the country seeking votes among thc farmers when he met a young man in fanner's garb walking by thc roadside. Having in his mind a prospective vote, he stopped his horse and, sa? luting him in a familiar manner, in? quired "Are you paying any attention to politics nowadays?" The young man stopped, looked at him suspiciously and drawled out: "No, stranger; that don't happen to be my gal's name, but ef it was I wouldn't think it was any of your damed business." This ended the interview as well as the Caught In Her Own Trap. "It's real moan!" the young wo? man exclaimed. "What's the matter?" her mother inquired. "Before I married Herbert 1 I made him promise to pass every evening at home with me, and now he says he's sorry, but he can't take I me to the theater without breaking i hil Inquirer.

SHAKESPEARE'S LAW. to Show That In tha Fashion of Hia No reader of Shake? speare's works eau fail to be struck by the copious and ever recurring legal phraseology with which they aro filled. Not only are law terms frequently employed with an al? most professional correctness to give color and intensity to his sen? tences, but whole scenes are taken up with allusions to or discussions on purely legal matters, aa in "The Merchant of Venice," "Henry and the grave scene in "Hamlet," not to mention other plays. So profound indeed is the knowledge displayed all through tlatt no le63 an authority- on the subject than Lord Campbell has told us that "to Shakespeare's law, lavishly as he propounds it, there can neither be demurrer nor bill of exceptions nor writ of error." To this marked feature of the works more than to any other one might perhaps with justice attribute the very origin of thc whole Baconian theory. The point is naturally of extreme im? portance in thc eyes of those whose only knowledge of the literature of the period is confined to Shake? speare's writings.

Rut that impor? tance shrinks rapidly to insignifi? cance after a course of reading through tho general dramatic liter? ature of the time, in which, as a matter of fact, legal similes and al? lusions arc found to occur with about tho same frequency as in Shakespeare's works. So strong in? deed is tho legal coloring of all stage writing at the time that one is forced to believe that law talk must have been more common among lay? men in those days and especially among laymen of a playgoing dis? position than it has ever been dur? ing any period since. There are in? dications besides that some critics were getting tired of all this legal jargon, Dekker, for instance, who writes: "There is another ordinary at which your London usurer, your stale bachelor and your thrifty at? torney do price, three? pence; thc rooms as full of com? pany as a jail. If they chance to discourse it is of nothing but stat? utes, bonds, recognizances, fines, re? coveries, ruidits, rents, subsidies, sureties, inclosures, liveries, indict? ments, outlawries, feoffments, judg? ments, commissions, bankrupts, amercements and of such horrible Horn Book, 1609. Tourneur also: There are old men at the present That are so polson'd with th' affectation Of law words, having had many That their common talk ls nothing- but barb'rou9 Latin.

There is therefore no more diffi? culty in Shakespeare's case touch? ing his knowledge of law than in thc case of any other playwright of his Century. An Essay on Habit. A schoolmaster once said to his pu? pils that to the boy who would make the best piero of composition in five minutes on "How to Overcome Hab? it" he would give a prize.

When the five minutes had expired a lad of nine years stood up and said: "Well, sir, habit is hard to over? come. If you take off the first let? ter, it does not change If you take ol? another, you still have a left. If you take off Ftill an? other, the whole of 'it' remains. If you take off mother, it is not totally used up, all of which goes to show that if you want to get rid of habit you must throw it off altogether." Result, he won it. Should Know Her Name.

Some time ago an accident hap? pened to a little girl's doll, Barbara, which consequently had to be sent to a shop where wounded dolls re? ceive attention. Later on the little one called at the shop and asked if her doll was mended. "I think so," the young man be? hind the counter said, fumbling over a pile of dolls on a shelf, "but I om afraid I can't tell which one it is in all this lot." "Oh, you should find her easily enough!" the little one confidently answered. "Her name's Barbara." Tha Star Chamber. The "star chamber" was 60 called from the place in which the court was held in one of the room9 of the king's palace in Westminster.

Upon the ceilings wero stars, hence the camera stellata or chamber of stars. It was of very ancient origin and had excessive powers, but could not pro? nounce thc death penalty. It was abolished by act of parliament in 1611 during the reign of Charles but this unfortunate monarch wa9 sentenced to bc beheaded from this same "star chamber." London Queen. Tha Secret of Strength. A kindly elderly bald gentleman waa tolling some lads the story of Samson.

"He was strong," said the speaker in summing up, "became weak and then regained his strength, which enabled him to destroy his enemies. Now, boys, if I had an enemy what would you advise me to do?" A little boy considered the secret of that great ancient's strength, and his hand went up "Get a bottle of hair restorer!" he Chronicle. JOHN GOODE DEAD Grand Old friar. Gore to Hi.s Feward Hon. John Goode, aged 80 years, Virginian, statesman, lawyer and soldier, died at St.

Vincent's Hos? pital, Norfolk, at 8:45 a.m., Wednes? day following a stroke of paralysis which he suffered several weeks ago. The body was taken to Bed? ford City Thursday for interment. John Goode, affectionately known in late years as the "grand old mao of Virginia." was without doubt at tbe time of his death, the most con? spicuous man in the State io point of years and honors. He was the sole survivor of the Virginia Seces? sion Convention and the oldest ex member of the National Congress. He also was a member of the Con? federate Congress.

He had the dis? tinction of being a member of the convention that framed one consti? tution for Virginia, and fifty years later (1901-'02) ho was president of the convention that framed the pres? ent constitution. Mr. Goode was born in Bedford county, Virginia, May 14, 1829. He attended the county schools and subsequently graduated from Emory and Henry College. After studying law under Judge John Brocken bovough, of the Lexington Law Schools, he was admitted to the bar and when he reached the age of 21 ho was a member of the Virgi Ma Legislature, representing Bedford county.

He served his native coun? ty in tho Secession Convention and later entered the Confederate army as a member of General Early's staff. While on the field of battle he was elected to the Confederate Congress After the war he moved to Norfolk, where he practiced law with great successs. He served three terms in Congres from the Norfolk district being the first Democratic represen tative from that district after the war. During Cleveland's first adminis? tration, Mr. Goode was appointed Solicitor General of the United States, and served with distinction for some time.

He failed of confir? mation in the Senate, however, be? cause it is said of political differen? ces existing between him and Gen? eral Mahone, then a Senator from Virginia. President Cleveland, during his second term appointed Mr. Goode a member of the United States and Chilian Claims Cominis sion to settle oertain matters in dis? pute between the two countries After a successful legal practice be? fore the Court of Claims and the Su? preme Court of the United States, Uedford most distinguish ed son agaiJ honored by elect? ion to the lafel Virginia Constitu? tional Convention, o' which he be? came president. Mr. Goode married Miss Sallie Urquhart, of Isle of Wight county, who died in 1889.

Three child? ren survive them, Mrs. William T. Brooke of Norfolk; John B.Goode of New York and Janies U. Goode of Norfolk. He was a typical "gentleman of the old school." A man of splendid stature, large head crowned with snowy hair, ruddy complexion and eyes thai sparkled with fun and twinkled with the kindly humor that he invariably injected into his always bright and interesting con? versation.

Mr. Goode, his best friends say, was not a great man in the sense of overpowering distinction in any one line. He was a too many-sided man not to have been outstripped by some man of fewer accomplish? it is doubtful if his age iu the State produced a moro versatile and all-around able man. Ho was a safe law-maker, a good lawyer, a fine soldier and a courteous gentle? man. His greatest gift was his or? atorical ability, in which few men of his time surpassed him.

While not a profound possessed a wealth of imagery, a ready How ol exquisite language, and especially on subjects touching the Soutb where his sympathies were enlisted he rose to a degree of eloquence that captured his audiences and held them by the magic of his ora? tory. Some of his speeches in Congress brought him national reputation, but his oration at the uu.veil.ng o' the monument at Yorktown in probably will remain as his master? piece of forensic eloquence. Mr. Goode was always prominent in Virginia politics, though not an aspirant for office, preferring the pursuit of his legal profession. He was the embodiment of the genial companion and interesting con? versationalist and no party was dull that claimed his presence.

His per? sonal habits were extremely tem? perate, his private life above re? proach, and his domestic relations all that find tbe commendation of friends and inspire affection in those of the home circle.

President Alderman, cf the L'ni versity of Virginia, is in receipt of a communication from Dr. George W. Parkin, chairman of the 1 hodes Scholarship Trust, announcing that the qualifying examination for the Rhodes scholarship from Virginia will be held at the University of Virginia on Tuesday and Wednes? day, October 19 and 20. It is now up to Legislatures of the several States to say whether there shall be an income tax amend? ment to the constitution. By the decisive vote of 317 to 14, more than tho necessary two-thirds, the House has passed the Senate joint resolu? tion providing for the subms sion of the question to the States.

The negative votes were all cast by Republicans. No amendment hiv? ing beeu made to the resolution it now goes to tho President for his signature. The fact that State Chairman son has called for another and voluntary assessment of 20 percent over tho amount lixed by the State Democratic committee has leaked out. The letters were written and sent to the candidates on Satin day. The assessment of the committee is fouud inadequate to conduct the primary.

Thecandidates are given till July 24 to pay up, and if they fail the State committee will be con? vened to raise the amount.

He was astonished to hear the old cow be? gin lowing, while at the signal a big black snake crawled up to the cow and began to drain the milk.
